The Spanish radio station COPE reports that French player Michael Llodra apologized to Rafael Nadal and his uncle Toni for the comments made by former Roland Garros champion Yannick Noah, where he alleged that Spanish athletes are doping.

"I’m sorry about what Noah said," Llodra was quoted as saying, to which the Nadal’s responded: "We don’t understand." Llodra then allegedly said: "He’s stupid and maybe he was…” and then made a gesture tipping his hand toward his mouth to indicate that Noah might have been drinking.
